Thank you, Fibonachu - that is extremely helpful, especially the cap swap bit, which would make more sense than a frame shortening, axle swap scenario. It's currently California titled/registered, and I can easily ask the dealer to confirm the serial plate for me (it's two hours away).
I want to leave it stock for the most part. A little body work, a color change, interior work, get the trim back to where it should be, and use it for farm/feed runs. $16k seems reasonable given the comps - just want to make sure I'm not buying a Frankenstein. So yes, I want to do very little, and this seems like a great starting point as its not rotting in a field, and it's not a full concourse restore with a $50k+ ask!
